Fully accredited breast imaging services
The breast imaging services at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving are fully accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR) as a Center of Excellence in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy.
Most women will experience some type of breast problem during their lifetime. The good news is that most breast disorders are not cancerous. However, your chance of developing breast cancer increases as you get older. That's why screenings (like routine mammograms) and examinations are so important—and where you go for these services makes a difference.

6 questions about 3D mammograms you need answered
If you’ve had a mammogram in the last few years, chances are you’ve heard of 3D mammography or “tomosynthesis.” Recent studies have shown that 3D mammograms may be more effective than standard digital 2D mammograms because they provide a more comprehensive look at the breast.
What doctors look for in a mammogram
When you get a mammogram, your results will be read by a radiologist. A radiologist is a physician that specializes in medical imaging, sometimes referred to as “reading X-rays.” In addition to image interpretation, breast imaging radiologists do minimally invasive needle biopsies using X-ray, ultrasound and MR guidance.
